Toiling Through HTML
Since finding a week like that is as likely an event as my finding an elixir of youth, I’m probably stuck with the glitches in my new design. For instance, why does the most recent post’s date appear in purple (it’s supposed to be black), and as a link? Why can’t I successfully add the cool graphic my sister gave me to the title bar? Why does the “In the Long Run” title appear in the color ‘sand” as a link when a previous post is loaded as a separate page? And why can’t I even figure out how to adjust the spacing between datelines and titles and posts?? I wish I were a computer geek!
I’ve decided I’m more of a design critic than a design creator. Web design is harder than it looks! Even a simple task, like choosing new colors, was difficult for me. I finally pulled out a running top that I like, and used its colors as the basis for my blog’s color scheme. Although I haven’t solved my other problems yet, it provides me with satisfying symmetry to emblazon my blog with the colors of the top I wore in my first long run.
Here is a link to a site that has some good HTML tutorials.

HTML=HyperText Markup Language (I'm sure you knew that!)
